The most common question I get after a return has been filed is, “Where’s my Refund?" Guess what? You can track it yourself, as often as you want! Click below to track your Federal, Federal Amended, California and other state tax returns.

W-2 Hotline List
W2's are generally received by January 31st each year. But sometimes they never arrive. Who knows why? Maybe they were lost in the mail. Did you move? You may have changed your address with SAG-AFTRA, but not with the payroll companies who paid your residuals. A few payroll companies give access to W2s online, but most do not. Use this link to find the current W2 hotline list published by SAG-AFTRA so that you can retrieve your missing W2s. Do this weeks before your appointment to allow for delivery time.
Although the City of Los Angeles Business Tax is not an income tax issue, I still receive an abundance of questions regarding it just because it has the word “tax” in the name.
Need an extension? I can file your Tax Day Extension for you. My fee is $50 and that covers the IRS/Federal and your Home State. If you want me to handle this for you, you must tell me by April 14th.
Please note that if you typically owe every year, you SHOULD pay what you think you will owe WITH the extension. Otherwise, you will have a late payment penalty and interest. I know I know, you are thinking I haven't done my taxes, how do I know what I will owe?!
I suggest you pay what you owed last year OR of your 1099 or self-reported income, send 15% to the IRS and 4% to the State. Even if you don’t send enough, at least it will knock down your tax bill. And if you send too much, the excess will be refunded to you.
